Exchange students include undergraduate and graduate level students who enroll for classes at MIT via an approved exchange program.

Departmental Exchanges are coordinated by the host department and the Global Education & Career Development Office (GECD).

The Exchange Scholar Program enables a graduate student enrolled in a doctoral program in one of the participating institutions to study at one of the other graduate schools for a limited period, so as to take advantage of particular educational opportunities not available on the home campus. Graduate students must be enrolled at MIT while participating in the program.
